Psychz Networks
Pros
- + Sixteen cities on four continents — Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Mumbai, and Moscow on one account, which almost no competitor offers
- + DDoS mitigation is a core competency: bundled filtering on every dedicated server, tiers to 500 Gbps, fourteen scrubbing points, and remote protection via reverse proxy without needing an ASN
- + Public catalogue of 158 priced plans — no quote-form gate; VMs from $4/month and hourly from $0.0011
- + S3-compatible object storage with zero egress charges and immutable object lock included
- + Service commitment with real teeth: 99.9% network uptime and 5% credit per half hour of outage up to a full month's fee
- + Own facilities and network since 2014 (hosting since 2001) — an operating company, not a reseller shell
Cons
- - All payments non-refundable (continuous backup excepted); claims expire after one calendar year; Texas law with California arbitration
- - Usage policy reserves a discretionary takedown right over otherwise legal content; adult-content permission is a 2015 forum answer, not policy
- - Support and provisioning reviews are genuinely mixed despite the 15-minute response promise
- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold
- - EU footprint thinner than US/Asia; documentation and control panel are functional rather than polished
ColoCrossing
Pros
- + Strong hardware-per-dollar: 4 cores, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and 40 TB transfer at $34.95/month list price
- + Ten owned or operated data centers across the US plus Dublin and Toronto for location choice
- + 100% network uptime SLA with dual-stack IPv6 network-wide and basic DDoS protection included
- + Transparent per-configuration pricing with published PassMark scores and full IPMI access
- + Colocation from single 1U to full cages with 24/7 operations center and remote hands
Cons
- - Heavy promotional-code churn means renewal pricing can step up well above the deal price
- - Backups, snapshots and managed services are paid add-ons, not included
- - No APAC data center presence
- - Thin public documentation and no modern self-service cloud control panel
- - GPU catalog uses older-generation Tesla/Radeon hardware
